As per the Openflow Specification-1.4, Section: 7.4.3.1 Modify Flow Table Message, Page:73,74: "When the remaining space in the flow table increases to more than vacancy_up, and if vacancy up events are enabled, a vacancy up event must be generated to the controller using the OFPT_TABLE_STATUS message type with reason OFPTR_VACANCY_UP."
"When vacancy events are enabled on the table using the OFPTC_VACANCY_EVENTS flag, either the vacancy up or vacancy down event is enabled. When enabling events, if the current vacancy is less than vacancy_up, vacancy up events must be enabled, and vacancy down events must be disabled. When enabling events, if the current vacancy is greater or equal to vacancy_up, vacancy down events must be enabled, and vacancy up events must be disabled. When vacancy events are disabled on the table using the OFPTC_VACANCY_EVENTS flag, both vacancy up and vacancy down events must be disabled." From the above statements, "current vacancy" can be interpreted as occupancy of the flow table [(no. of. flows/max flows)*100] and not as remaining space of the table. As per my understanding current vacancy should denote the remaining/free space of the table. Please help me understand the meaning of "current vacancy" -- whether it should be the remaining space percent or should be occupied space percentage ?
